There are plenty of people among the lalty and among the clergy who think that the church is declining, ap- pearing to be totally unaware of the Tact that the church which Is divinely founded cannot decline, that truth is d not be expected and cver of one y have mot and will not—the world is moving ajong new lines and because old forms are passing awey is no evidence that o0ld truths zre being dishomored. All that is worth preserving will be pre- and that which represents ill be borne away by the winds, are too apt to think of the church as the deserted meeting house out in the country, or the little assem- iy of meeting houses in our town, in- d of as the aggregate of congrega- tions who in the name of the Lord are smoving along love lines and charity lines all over the earth and on most of the seas. The church is a world- power—a God-inspired movement for S Saisbiement of man' The Ehilth signs of becoming ind less thoretical, but to be a the sum rch it represents.

Well, in 3302, it contributed in this country a miltion a as only spread tbe goepel of good tidings, but to alleviate distress and to practically demonstrate the power of love in every direction. ‘ou and I cannot image what good 000,000 may accomplish in Ameri- €a and elsewhere; and that is doubt the clamor for | less less than half tha the Christian world. Such a force as this for good is mot declining—there is no such thing as fail. THE SCIENCE OF FLYING. The navigators of the air have had a memorable trial of airships at Los Angeles, and, as was expected, new records have been made and the most wonderful stunts have been done with- out a mishap. As a high flyer Louis Paulhan approached a height of §,000 feet, while for speed, Glenn H. Curtiss in nis American machine beat all oth- ers, 1t is surprising to note what strides these flying machines are making, and how much safer they appear to be than tha old balloon, several of { which have been in service the past | weelk at Los Angeles. | Professor Longley placed his faith | upon the aeroplane, and although he expended $100,000 in his experiments he never made a machine that would navigate the air well. He and others who belleved that the heavier than air machines would solve the problem were derided not o many years ago; | but today there is not a question that | Professor Longley and the men who { agreed with him were right, There was a time when the progress with these machines was slow, but at Los Angeles the past week many new devices have been brought out, and now the improvements are coming along day by day in a way which gives promise that in a few years more the airship will be a common sight in the | heavens. The Tillinghast machine is not tak- en seriously anywhere except in New England, yet; but if the tests which it is alleged have been given it of late are authenticated it will be excelled by none for speed or safety. The age of alr navigation has dawn- ed and flight will become more and more common as these tournaments are held. THE UNDER DOG. | TIs the under dog the dog we rate | him to be? He may be to blame for | heing the under dog. or he may mot be We are not fast to In- aquire as to causes. We are bred to be slow in the extension of sympathy or aid. The under dog may be less of a brute than we think and more of a problem. The other evening a Mr. Fels of Philadeiphia, a successful bus- iness man and a Christian socialist, who mingles with the unfortunate classes—with the yellow dogs of the metropolis, made the following perti- nent remarks: “We complain that the men in the ‘read line sell their votes; what else have they to sell? Neglecting equity, we defraud and disemploy them. We do not attend to the public busine: the public business is neglected and the consequences annoy us. His attitude toward them Is right, for he calls them men, not floaters; and when this picture is before us the man who buys them looks more des- picable than the man bought. This suppression of the kindlier feel- ings which lead to sympathetic action and deserved assistance is too fash- ionable. We should not be afraid of doing harm by kindness. It is the other thing that makes criminals and brutes of men. If we kept our minds and our hearts right, there would be no class among men known as the under dog. all to blame. EDITORIAL NOTES. The presidential messages are still stingless, it the conditions at Washing- ton are not. It is an established fact that the precocious child is not a promise of genius in manhood. Sometimes the truth hurts, but that is not the fault of the truth. If one's relation to it is right there is no trou- ble, Happy thought for today: It will not be long before the man in the air will change the meaning of the figure of speech This January ice Is just as discom- forting under foot, as July ice Is to the mind when running out of the re- frigerator.

Of a recent cold morning an elderly passenger ona trolley car yamp- ed at the conductor: “Shut that door!” The conductor quietly complied, Te- marking that ‘“Please” added to that Wwould have made it sound a great deal better. It was a most effective piece of pleasantry, and as he proceeded to collect his fares the conductor res marked: “They used to teach me that politeness didn't cost nuthin’.” Then everybody in the car but the wounded bird smiled one of those smiles which ure caused when the other fellow is hit. It was out of the neatest repri- mands I ever listened to. Nobody Eot angry, but it was apparent that at least one party was severely tried. It doesn’t cost anything to be polite. It is a fact that some people live their lives just as if “stopping up rat holes with apple-dumplings” was & way to'rid themselves of annoyances and to pave the way to more peaceful conditfons, mnstead of the way to in- crease the rats and to make matters worse. It is not easy to tell why they do not realize that their efforts are baseless and the results unsatisfactory; | but they do not see that their aimless- | ness is just about the same as whist- | ling psalms to a dead horse. They go | right on providing fodder for vagrant | thoughts and _vagrant performers of every sort, and then complain because they cannot rid themselves of the | pests. Where the mnoddle is filled with noodles, what more is to be expected. The Man Who Talks has pleasing greetings from the readers of his eekly column the first of each year, and January, 1910, has been no excep- tion.” Good words at any time are an inspiration to those who serve; and a life of honest service is the only real satisying life that there is. It is love of work which precents its becoming drudgery: and it 18 the wandering mind that is il at ease. Purpose is a focal word, and it leads to concentration; “Where there is a will, there is a wa. is an old proverb, which shows that the willing mind is @ lubricant as well as an flluminant. A gentleman about to travel abroad took occasion to say to a friend whom (Written for The Bulletin.) In every line of last week's poem there is mubject-matter for a litle taik on paper—whic) ¥ e way, all that writing is. ‘The second iine Tuns, “Just vast the limits of our work-day world,” and without at- tempting to pass the “limits,” I have chosen the words, In Our Work-day ‘World, because they the state of life to which most us are called, ali of us indeed who heed the instruc- tion “to learn and labor truly to get our own living.’ Now with the passing of Epiph- any the holldays are over. I wonder how many of us are glad to settle down once more into our every-day, work-a-day, routine of life. I won der, becausé I note among us all, dear friends and neighbors mine, a_certain air of “let-down,” difficult to describe, similar perhaps to the lassitude and disillusionment of the morning after the ball, a droop of relaxation that Visibly affects all the muscles of the ‘body and, notably, the carriage of the head and shoulders, Loolgat the dear ipeople in the electric ca our fellow passengers! Not one sits up quite so straight as he did before Christmas, none of us are so alert, nor quite s0 ready to meet conditions half way, to speak the season’s word of greeting, to laugh or smile, and by no means so wiiling to “crowd up” to make room for one more. In a word, our mood is lowered at least a semi-tone, while all the brilliant rose and gold of holi- day week seems ground down into the dullness of purplish arey. Nobody likes purplish-grey, particularly when mixed with mud-color. But what are we going to do abowt it? Having ‘wished everybody a happy mew year in the same old wav do we not feel that we have done all that can rea- sonably be expected of us, if not a little more? I wonder if we are really glad to be at work again, if we really love our work better than anything clse, and if we are glad and happy and thankful to live In a work-day world. Let us talk it over. Now, the way you and I and every one else looks, is precisely the way you and I feel This droop of relaxation that I see in you and you see in me, seems to be he was bidding good-bye: “Do not use a_profane word while I. am gone! “Whatever profane words I have used, replied the friend, 'I have never taken the name of God in vall Will you define that?” he asked. “I prefer that you should,” replied the friend.” “As popularly interpreted that phrase is poorly interpreted. He who takes the Lord’s name in vain oftenest and most shamefully is the man who, having no mission, uses the name of the Lord to make a living. The name of the Lord ig taken in vain too often; and where the mercenary spirit overrides the re- liglous_ spirit, there we sec the worst examples of it.” Taking the name of the Lord in vain in its worst form is not always recognizable by us. One woman d_that she daily prayed: “Dear Lord, help me to mind my own business.” This is a pretty good prayer, for such a woman if she prayed in earnest never could become a busybody. She would not see too much would mot hear too much, would not say too much. Take this trio of too muches out of our lives and there would be less gossip. less trouble and less noise in the world. She wished to more than the natural let-down after the holiday straipn, more than the pleasant sense of weariness that comes with the realization of another year's tasks completed. Forgive me if I say that we all look discouraged. disheart- ened, though a veil had been drop- ped between us and the bright bit of faeryland we caught glimpses of dur- ing holiday week; almost as though our daily llving were a daily grind, a hopeless round of toiling today that we may eat tomorrow; too often car- Tying with it a weary sense of futility, as of getting nowhere, Am I putting it too strongly? If not, then what is it that is wrong? This brings me to one of the prob- lems that has troubled me from child- hood, ever since I first began to ask the question of the ages—Why? Tell me, why is not all life one grand an— them of joy? Something must be wrong with the sworker who does not enjoy his work. It is matural to like to use our God-given abllities—physi- cal, mental and temperamental. What greater joy than to conceive an idea and bring it to fruition! Ask the poet, the painter, the music maker, at what C apsies . DAILY STORY point his joy bly he will ¢ :l’ormd instant ‘within con- lousness is born the poem, pic ture, the immortal song. 1If this be true’ of art work, why should it not be true of all even of the hardest or humblest? I believe it might be made to be, And I believe the secret of joy in work lies not so much in the sort of work it is, nor the conditions under which it is done, as in the life motive of the worker. I once heard a woman say that she could love God and her meighbor quite as well when washing dishes as when writing little songs—and in writing little songs she excelled. With her, the lifo-motive was strong enough and sweet enough to dominate any condition or environ- ment. Perhaps with those of us who are tied to a round of common cares, to wearying toil, to a monotonous do- ing of the same homely tasks over and over and over, or to such plain, practi- cal, day by day work as leaves neither time nor opportunity for doing the “something else” we feel 80 sure we could love and “enjoy—perhaps what needs to be remedied Js the motive un- der which we work and play and live. There is a big way of looking at very little things, as there is a larger, higher, nobler way of thinking about ourselves, about our friends and neighbors, about their work and ours. Wherever our place may be, whether in shop or factory, or office, in kitchen or sick room; whatever the task that comes to our heart or hand, whether sweeping and dusting, shoveling coal or writing eplcs—if we could remem-— ber to say to ourselve: “No this minute, in this bit of honest work that I am doing, ‘God and I are a major- ity,’ "—would not the task at once seem {™ IN OUR WORK-DAY WORLD 3|43, i 1! baflowed? It is heart-lifting to believe that God works through us, and frank- 1y to acknowledge to ourselves that no one else can do our work, because it is good out of; it Is heart-cheering to see that our work is part and portion of our life, growing out of it as the blos- som from the seed and the seed from our very own ang not another's, is therefore not to be done as it needs be done, except by ourselves—with God. George Elot speaks it nobly from the 1ips of that faithful craftsman, Stradi- vari, of old Cremona: “My work is mine And . . . i my hana_slacked I should rob God—since He is fullest good— 1 say, ;not God Himself can make man's est ‘Without best men to help Him. "Tis God gives skill, But not without men's hands; could not make Antonlo Stradivari's violins ‘Without Antonio. Remembe ened, eve: g this, toil will be light- with shall shore; a new song in our hearts, we play like children on a timeless there need be no more drudgery. neither poverty nor riches: and dis- heartenment shall roll away like a curtain of mist before the dawn of a welcome day. THE RECLUS: be helped to mind her own business. that is the Lord's business. Noble de- velopment, the elimination of qualities which degrade womanhood,would make her more and more for good, and that is for God. These paths are well laid out it we will only take them, but human nature likes too well to stroll. They talk about men's losing their tempers! Most of us would like to lose ‘em—to be well rid of them that easy. There must have been a purpose in putting a temper into man, and what he does with his temper is a_pretty accurate measure of how much of & man he is. A man who can hold his temper can usually hold his horses and the man who can hold his horses is master of the team. This appears to have been the divine plan of arousing man to mastery. and if man was con- scious of the value of the achievement he would master his temper oftener. The men who do not govern their tem- pers are simply bad examples and there are too many of them. Self control under some circumstances makes an ordinary man appear like a king. Zeal is a good thing when kept within bounds. It is just as bad as any other good thing when carried to excess, I can call to mind more than one pious, zealous man who tore him- self to pieces in the name of the Lord. You, quite likely, call to mind agita- tors for good who did not live out half their days because of their zeal- ous_ disregard of health—this is what their blind zeal for something else amounted to. Now, can yvou imag- ine the Lord as saying: “Well done, good and faithful servant!” to the man who in His name has wasted his en- ergies and brought about sulcidal re- sults. _Self-destruction is not com- mendable whatever the pretext. The person who has been taught to do things systematically or who, see- ing the advantage of orderly proced- ure and acquired the habit, has con- quered a good many difficulties in life, besides having prepared the way to do more work with comparative ease than the less orderly pgrson can. The world is full of false motions and ev- ery false motion is loss of time. The old_typesetter. with no false motions, could do 10.000 ems with case, while the other fellow was overworked when he had done 8,000 ems. It is so in all the trades—in all the occupations. ‘Wasting energy is slipping a cog, and when a cog slips the machine is not working well. To make every motion tell is to do effective work and to aec- complish more than can otherwise be done. This is system, SUNDAY MORNING TALK WORTH READING. We get no good By being ungenerous men to a book And calculating profits—so much help By so much reading. It is rather when We gloriously forget ourselves and plunge Soul forward, headlong in a book pro- found, Impassioned for its beauty and salt of truth. *Tis then we get the right good from a book. —Mrs. Browning. Before the year gets any older I want to put in a plea for more atten- tion to the vital hooks. We are near- ly swamped with periodical litera- ture. Much of the material in the pages of a good maszazine is_interest- ing, stimulating, profitable. Moreover, ediiors and publishers are becoming past masters in the art of presenting their goods in 2 style that arrests the eye and pleases the artistic sense. Yet we may easily waste good time in simply skimming lightly over the lat- est monthlies or indeed in reading with avidity thelr fascinating fea- tures. What we need in this as in all other matter affecting our best life is the sense of proportion plus the cour- age that will lead us to choose the better and the best Instead of the good. And with a view to encouraging some persons to take up a book on some of the occasions when they would instinctively turn to a newspaper or a magazine, I venture to name a few volumes out of the multitude recently issued. What in this last season’s tremendous output of books Is really worth while: I cannot give an ade- quate or exhaustive reply to this ques- tion, but out of personal knowledge I can’ recommend confidently at least half a dozen. At the head of th Henry M. Stanle: noble autobl- ography. I happen to know that the staff of a leading New York literary syndicate has recently concurred in the judgment that this book Is not only the greatest book of the vear but the greatest ook ever published. That may be too high praise but if you ist, T would put masterly lif> you will put it down with reluctance, for it deplcts a ca- reer aud a character that have seldom been approximated in the annals of the race. Read it to see what a work- house boy can make of himself by sheer pluck and persistence, to see how when man-grown he felt the wonderful leadings of God. Another book of the reminiscent or- der is that of Dr. Washington Gladden, in which he tells simply but forcibly the story of his long and fruitful life as author, preacher and reformer. The account i3 also an epitome of the stir- ring events of the last 50 years in this country and shows how a genuinely religious man conceives of his respon- sibilitles and his opportunities as a citizen. Read the book and catch the contagion of its cheery optimism. Still another unvelling of a large personality is the volume by Rev. Dr. William Newton Clarke, one of the leading teachers of theology in Amer- ica, entitled “Sixty Years with the Bible” If you have thrown away the eory of verbal inspiration and_with it any regular reading of the Bible i2 for any other reason you are ig- yorant of the value and helpfulness cf the Bible when approached in the full light of modern scholarship, read this book of Dr. Clarke to find out whai a human and at the same time wiat a divine book it is. He has greatly modified his childhood view of t Seripture and he is a believer in rev- erent higher criticism, but he has gane on from decade to decade to find in CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
